Strangely-or shall I say “peculiarly”?-I feel like watching the American Horror Story TV series right now.
It is true that most of the characters encountered come and go, but meeting them, being introduced to them, was a real pleasure. Because Jacob and the peculiar children are journeying into the unknown to save their beloved headmistress, they face many dangers and encounter a dozen new characters along the way. There is no time jump, which I appreciate, having been time-jumped enough the last few weeks with the Saga comic series. The story picks up from the last page of the first volume. Although, one could argue that they have an “unfinished” quality, but that was the main complaint about the impressionism painting style and we all love a little Monet and Manet. Cassandra Jean makes the characters look so alive, as though they are breathing within the pages. Just like the first volume of the graphic novel adaptation of the Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children series, it is wonderfully-illustrated. But they are doing their best to find someone who can help them bring Miss Peregrine back. With their headmistress being stuck in the form of a bird, they have little guidance against the terrible creatures killing peculiars off.
The peculiars are trying to save Peculiardom.
But no matter where they go, trouble lurks after them… Genres & Themes: Graphic Novel, Fantasy, Mystery, Horror, Action, MagicĪfter fleeing an army of terrible monsters, Jacob Portman and his peculiar friends find themselves lost at sea, but the only person who might be able to get them ashore safely, their illustrious headmistress Miss Peregrine, is stuck in the form of a bird! Hoping to find a way to get Miss Peregrine back to normal–or as normal as a peculiar can get–the children journey to London.
